Naruto: The Abstract Strategist of the Akatsuki

Chapter 371 Tobirama: I also need to stall for time.

Huh?

Madara Uchiha was about to ignore Tobirama and get what he wanted first when a sudden idea flashed into his mind.

—Why does this situation feel so familiar?

Even at such close range, Madara's sensory abilities were insufficient to detect whether Tobirama had any chakra fluctuations.

But he still thought of another possibility.

Tobirama was indeed "playing dead," but not to lure him in.

It was the same reason he had given for "faking his death" before: to avoid being discovered by his enemies that he was in trouble.

On second thought, if Tobirama really was trying to lure him in, then he would definitely have stopped him from doing what he was about to do to Naruto.

After all, Tobirama would never sit idly by and watch him regain his power.

So he really had no other choice but to gamble that Tobirama wasn't fishing for him.

Thinking of this, Madara picked up a bottle of milk from the bedside table to replenish Naruto's nutrition and walked over to Tobirama, who was lying motionless on the ground as if he were dead.

*Smack*

The milk bottle, like a sharp dagger, was stabbed into Tobirama's body by Madara. The milk level, which was originally full, began to drop rapidly until the bottle was empty.

In the original work, after Madara was resurrected through Rinnegan, one of the things Inui did was to use black rods to pierce Tobirama's entire body, with several nails even stuck into his head.

This forced Tobirama to use his Water Release technique, which involved spitting water, and he even gave it a nice name: "Heavenly Cry".

Madara now wants to use the Yin-Yang Release black rod to stab Tobirama, but unfortunately he doesn't have that, so he has to settle for using a milk bottle instead.

But you can't just poke a milk bottle like that.

With Madara's current power, he simply cannot break through the defenses without the aid of tools.

But he also felt it was unnecessary to have Madara climb out the window, bring in the tools he had just used to smash the window, and then deal with Tobirama.

So Ban chose to compromise.

Don't "hurt" Tobirama anymore.

Then it won't break through the defenses.

Wherever there's a gap, just stuff a milk bottle in there.

"Still no response?"

Madara was somewhat surprised to see that Tobirama, whose milk bottle he had filled with holes in, remained motionless.

Was Tobirama truly knocked unconscious by the mysterious figure in the sky, or was he just playing dead because of his incredible patience?

Ban can't worry about that anymore.

The revenge against Tobirama is now temporarily complete.

He couldn't do anything else given his current physical condition.

Let's get down to business.

Ban searched the bedroom but couldn't find what he wanted, so he had to leave the room.

The moment Madara left the bedroom, Tobirama Senju, who was lying on the floor, opened his eyes.

Madara was right, Tobirama is indeed very patient.

In Tobirama's view, since the reanimated body had no sensation anyway, and his chakra was being continuously absorbed by the Eight Thousand Spears, his sensory abilities were also rapidly declining. He could just close his eyes and pretend that nothing had happened.

As long as he keeps playing dead, even if Madara does something to him at first, he will quickly lose interest because he doesn't get positive feedback.

Conversely, if he wakes up, he will be powerless to resist.

Compared to the frail Madara, his situation of being unable to move due to having his chakra completely drained was even worse.

Once Ban realizes he is conscious, he will definitely continue to torture him.

Tobirama glanced up at Naruto, who was still under the control of the genjutsu, and sighed inwardly.

It seems Naruto is doomed to face Madara's clutches today.

I don't know if Sasuke will make it back in time.

What was Ban looking for when he went out?

It's definitely a "tool".

Madara had openly spied on Sasuke multiple times and discovered that Sasuke obtained Naruto's cells using a specially made tool.

It's unclear what kind of spots they are.

After all, he was an ancient figure from the Warring States period. Even if he survived for a while, he only lived until the Third World War.

With technology advancing rapidly, it's normal for things he doesn't understand to emerge.

Ban only vaguely remembers that it was an electric thing, somewhat like a cup, and it seemed to rotate and make a buzzing sound.

"Found it."

After searching for a long time, Ban finally found what he was looking for in the kitchen. He excitedly took the item back to the bedroom and plugged it in.

Ok?

Wait, plug in the power?

Tobirama, who was squinting and peeking, sensed something was wrong.

Isn't this thing supposed to be charged by batteries?

Where would you find something that can be directly plugged into a power source?

Tobirama took a closer look and was immediately dumbfounded.

What Ban brought back seemed to be, perhaps, or maybe, a blender.

I wonder if Sasuke is used to mix meat filling for hamburger patties, or beans for soy milk.

Sasuke is quite the virtuous wife and loving mother... Wait, is this the time to be thinking about these things?

This thing doesn't last long!

This is no longer a matter of being at risk of missing a good opportunity; it's a certainty!

Now Naruto is really going to turn into a cute girl.

Tobirama Senju opened his mouth, wanting to give up playing dead and remind Madara, but he was immediately stopped by his own reason.

Given his relationship with Madara, if he were to offer any advice, it would not only fail to stop Madara, but would also make Madara more convinced that he was right.

Then we'll have to use other methods to buy time.

Tobirama Senju knew that Sasuke's Mangekyou Sharingan ability was for intelligence gathering, so he may have already noticed the anomaly here, but it would take him some time to get here.

The longer the time drags on, the greater the chance that Naruto will survive.

"Madara, I never knew you had such a fetish! Naruto is still just a child! You are a disgrace to Konoha, and the Uchiha clan should be ashamed of you too!"

With great difficulty, Tobirama Senju used his tongue to push the milk bottle out of his mouth. Once he could speak, he immediately began to mock Madara Uchiha.

"...Tobirama, you were faking your death after all. Now you can't keep up the act anymore?"

Madara turned around, put down the 3-in-1 blender in his hand, crossed his arms in front of him, and looked down at Tobirama Senju lying on the ground with a look of disdain.

Full of momentum.

The premise is to ignore the negligible aura of strength emanating from the two individuals.

"Madara, when you brought Izuna back after I severely injured him, did you examine his lower body?"

Tobirama suddenly changed the subject.

He directly presented a name that could stimulate Ban to think deeply for a while.

"What do you mean?!"

Madara angrily stomped on Tobirama's head.

"Hehe, actually, my Flying Thunder God Slash back then completely wiped out Izuna's entire style, how come you didn't notice?"

It seems Izuna knew that having his style shattered by me was a huge disgrace, and he was so angry that he died without telling you.

But don't worry, Madara, my Flying Thunder God Slash is very fast, and Izuna didn't feel much pain.

As for what happened afterward, he probably used fire jutsu to scald himself a few times to stop the bleeding...

Tobirama Senju spoke with a smile on his face.

At that moment, he felt that the person who wrote those strange novels was a true genius.

I never expected that the plot points from that movie would still be useful at this time.
